Jacksonville, Florida, April 18, 2007 -- Baptist Health and WJCT Public Broadcasting are teaming up again to host the seventh annual Speaking of Women's Health® conference, a one-day event "dedicated to educating women to make informed decisions about their health, well-being and personal safety." This year's conference will take place on Saturday, August 18, from 8 am to 4 pm at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront.

Speaking of Women's Health features dynamic keynote speakers, more than a dozen breakout sessions with local and national experts, and free personal screenings. The annual event sells out earlier every year, so women are encouraged to get their tickets now.

This year's event will focus on the theme, "It's the Right Time... Be Strong, Be Healthy, Be in Charge," and will seek to educate women that small changes, done consistently, add up to years of improved quality of days, and increase the quality of their weeks, months and years.

Dr. Schrader is Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida's vice president of Provider Services, accountable for the servicing of over 30,000 physicians and hospitals across the state of Florida.
